I was pretty excited when natural cookie mix company May Cookie Co, which happens to be based out of my hometown in Connecticut, sent along some of their cookie mixes to give them a try. Owned and operated by mother and daughter team, Susan and Marissa, they have created mixes that allow home bakers to […]
Happy New Year! In fall 2011, I started to pay more attention to the way food, whether it is around Boston or at home, looks. I took many food photos and chose a “food photo of the day” to post on Twitter, to capture where I am, what I am doing, and of course what […]
Thanksgiving has come and gone and I was thinking about how this year was actually less eventful then ever before. Ever since my sisters moved down South and we no longer went to our aunt’s house, near our hometown in CT, we were in charge of creating the perfect meal for that special day on our […]
Healthy Choice Top Chef Inspired Café Steamers have made their way into the freezer section of local grocery stores. So I figured, why not try one of them and see if the chefs behind the popular cooking competition show could create something that really hits the spot after a long day of work and working […]
Guinness is an Irish dry stout most recognized by it’s dark color and thick foamy top. It gets its deep hue from roasted malted barley in the beer, created just like coffee is made, and also includes hops, yeast, and water. Anyone who has ordered one at a bar knows it is a beer you […]

A Cuban sandwich can be a hearty meal, which can be enjoyed any time of day. Typically the sandwich includes buttered Cuban bread, which is piled with Swiss cheese and meat, such as ham and roasted pork, and sometimes even salami. Then pickles and mustard are included inside the sandwich and it is pressed flat and […]
On warm days like today, BBQ favorites like burgers are always the perfect meal to end the day. But when the weather is this warm, slaving over a hot grill to cook them is not ideal. Especially since many city-dwellers, including myself, do not have the luxury of a yard to grill in, or a […]
Redbones is an amazing BBQ joint in Davis Square in Somerville, Mass., that is the perfect place for all the “authentic down-home-style Southern food” you could ask for. This week my bf and I decided to go all out with some ribs and all the sides to change it up from our usual take out […]
